Summary

The Shadows appeared a year ago. They're dark, silent, blurry masses that don't seem to do much, and most people have gotten used to them. Dean's just an alcoholic, washed-up crook whose own brother wants him dead, but he doesn't trust them–especially now that he's got one hot on his trail, and it won't quit talking in Sam's voice.

And that's before an angel and a demon join the chase and Dean starts to turn into a Shadow...and why does everyone keep talking about an apocalypse?

Summary

Jensen Ackles, a disillusioned loner who clawed his way from the neon streets to the hacker elite, vows revenge on LenCorp, the megacorporation housing much of world's information. He gets caught during a run when he runs into strange code in their system and ends up in Jeff Morgan's team at Dallas Tactical, partnered with street-smuggler-turned-field-agent Jared Padalecki. Jared falls for the surly hacker with silvery polycarbon lenses covering his eyes and Jensen slowly warms to the kid whose loyalty has cost him an arm. Their routine work is interrupted when Jared's former partner is found dead. That sets off a chain of events revealing details of a hacker resistance, a corporate conspiracy and the strange code protecting LenCorp's servers that forces Jensen to run and decide who he can trust.
